Installing SlippiHUD

To get started you should probably head over and install node https://github.com/SSBDoppler/slippi-hud/blob/master/tut/node.png

Nodecg 2.2 (which this project runs on) currently requires one of these 3 node versions or better without a major version change 16.13.0 || 18.12.0 || 20.9.0

The recommended for most users button should be correct, current version may cause issues

Click that button and run the nodejs installer.

Next you'll want to install nodecg. I reccomend using command line for this part. Its the easiest option.

First press the windows button on your keyboard, then type cmd

You should see something like this

What I and the nodecg website recommend is using nodecg cli for the rest of the install, it's quick and basically painless.

First you'll type into the CMD npm install --global nodecg-cli Setting the global tag saves so much hassel.

Next you'll navigate to the folder you want to install nodecg in. I reccomend d: drive.

so you'll type d:

Followed by a

mkdir nodecg

this will make the folder you install nodecg into

Next

cd nodecg

CMD is now in nodecg (I used nodecj because I already have nodecg and you can't make a folder that already exists with mkdir) https://github.com/SSBDoppler/slippi-hud/blob/master/tut/cmd2.png

you'll now want to (currently nodecg-cli fails to install 2.x builds due to a dependency update) nodecg setup 1.9.0

followed by nodecg install SSBDoppler/slippi-hud

https://github.com/SSBDoppler/slippi-hud/blob/master/tut/cmd3.png

Followed with

nodecg defaultconfig slippi-hud

Now the node package is installed and ready to start! (Don't close cmd, you still need it to run the program.)
